Center-right, Berlusconi: “Stand out for balance and seriousness”

“Giorgia Meloni and Matteo Salvini both have great skills and a strongly characterized profile. From here to the elections, which are not imminent, the best solution will be found. The center-right, however, must stand out for the balance, the seriousness, the coherence of its proposals , not for its internal matters “. Thus the Forza Italia leader Silvio Berlusconi in an interview with Corriere della Sera. “The fact that I represent Forza Italia seems to me not to be questioned by anyone. Moreover, a national coordinator and a management team of excellent quality collaborate with me. On the meeting of the center-right with President Draghi – he explains – we still have to think, but of course my relationship with the premier is constant over time. I also spoke to him from Brussels “. For Berlusconi” it would be irresponsible to interrupt this government that is leading Italy out of the health and economic emergency “. “It is a difficult job that is proceeding with good results thanks to the sense of responsibility of all the political forces. It would be truly irresponsible to think of interrupting it ahead of time to block the country in an electoral campaign. For the same reason, to speak now of electoral law. it means circulating poisons, while Italy expects politics to deal with something else, vaccines, Pnrr, taxes, pensions, the well-being and safety of Italians “, he says. What is your political goal today, in the short and long term? “Keeping the country united – replies Berlusconi -, in a close relationship with Europe, to really start again: we must ensure that our children and our grandchildren can live better than us, just as our fathers and grandparents guaranteed it to us. Today, for the first time in centuries, this is by no means taken for granted “. And on the hypothesis of a Mattarella bis or Draghi al Colle, he points out that “the rule of not talking about Mattarella’s successor also applies in this case”.
